I haven’t looked ahead on the weather but I’m in the south central area and just 25mi from the coast.

There must be male and female Mulberry trees because I have a large one but never saw fuzz. When the kids were little they would go bearfoot and get their feet stained from the berries- and their clothes too!
A good hard rain helps get rid of the Oak fuzz.

Luv, they use acronyms, but they are so blatantly obvious and ‘in your face’! There did used to be a rule, in fact I have a thread linked in my profile links about it. We had a good mod years ago, who wrote about profanity and that acronyms counted - so don’t try it.

You may not see all the political threads that I do but it runs rampant here now!!

I’ve got to get up early so need to get to bed. Really enjoyed talking to you!

No Fine Print

April 5, 2013

Writing in the Wall Street Journal, Missy Sullivan noted that many user agreements, warranties, and disclaimers that come with products are nearly unreadable. Intentionally set in very small type, they actually discourage people from understanding them. Because of this, many people don’t read all the terms of contracts before signing them. A university professor of graphic communication pointed to a 32-page user agreement that came with his new smartphone, and said of the company, “They don’t want you to read it.”

In contrast, the Lord is always seeking to communicate with His people in clear and compelling ways, with no attempt to confuse or deceive. When Moses spoke to the Israelites just before they entered the Promised Land, he said, “For this commandment which I command you today is not too mysterious for you, nor is it far off. . . . I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live” (Deut. 30:11,19).

The Lord wants us to understand His plan and purpose clearly, so that we may love, obey, and cling to Him—for He is our “life and the length of [our] days” (v.20). That’s plain to see.

Father, we want to learn and experience more of who
You are in our relationship with You. Teach us so that
we will grow in our understanding of You and
Your plan for our lives.
There is no fine print in God’s communication with us.

Read: Deuteronomy 30:11-20

For this commandment which I command you today is not too mysterious for you, nor is it far off. —Deuteronomy 30:11
Bible in a Year:
1 Samuel 1-3; Luke 8:26-56
